REPLACEMENT OF THE CUTTING BLADE
First withdraw the anvil as shown below by applying pressure to the auxiliary ports.
Pump out the main ram until the blade spring pins 030636 can be seen in the opening of the
cutter body.
The two pins are ¼” (6.35mm) diameter and they should be knocked out enough to release the
blade.
With the pins removed the blade can be taken from the cutter, gloves should be worn to
prevent cuts from any sharp edges that may be present on the blade after use.
Re-assembly is the reverse of the above process.

REMOVAL OF THE MAIN CYLINDER
If it is necessary to renew the hydraulic seals, the cylinder must be removed from the tool. As an
aid to this, 2 off tapped holes are provided in the cylinder end face. These are M8 x 8 deep on
100mm centres.
First, pump out the ram and remove the blade, again as described above in section 8.
To use the holes in the top of the cylinder first remove any couplings, then the blanking screws
035081 and fasten a piece of flat bar, typically 30x10mm section and 900mm long centrally to
the top of the cylinder. This can be used to loosen or re-tighten the cylinder. Do not use Stilsons
to remove the cylinder as damage will occur.
